System for distributing signals, for example from a church 3, to subscribers, via a distribution device 4. Rather than via permanent connections, the connections from the church to the distribution device, and from the distribution device to the subscribers are established via dial-up connections. First, the church - or other source - dials up the distribution device. Subscribers can then dial up the distribution device in order to follow the broadcast of church service via the distribution device. Subscribers who dial up the distribution device when the latter is not connected to the church receive information from a message device 5 relating to the next transmission. Subscribers in a local network 1a other than the network 1 to which the church is connected can dial up a local distribution device 6, which then establishes a connection with the distribution device 4 to which the church is connected. <IMAGE>
